Some people have strong personalities, in that people either hate
them or love them.. they have very distinct personalities that
basically say.. this is who i am.. either love it or leave it... they
are confident in who they are and really dont allow other people to
shape their thinking. They have their opinions on issues and let them be
known, without trying to curry favor with the "crowd"....They are aware
of what they like and what they don't like... They don't seek to control other people.. their only focus is mastery of self..
Other people have weak personalities.. in that they are more easily
influenced and seek the approval of the crowd.... they need others to
"take charge" and responsiblity in various situations.. they strive to
be loved by all because rejection can be crumbling to their self
esteem.. They seek to keep up with the Joneses when the Joneses don't
even know they live in the same neighborhood..
Now by strong personalities I don't mean people who are boorish and
want to control other people.. by weak personalities i don't mean
wallflowers that everybody can run roughshod over... I dont mean that at
all.. the outlook is telling

Example: A person with a strong personality is asked in front of a
few people why they have no children... They respond that they are not
married or Strong Personality responds "I don't want to be a baby mother".... A
listener with a strong personality may respond "oh okay.. well to each
his own".. a listener with a weak personality may respond "oh you so
stuck up bytch! looking down on people that got kids because they ain't
married!" ... why the disparity.. because the strong personality
listener is aware that each person has their own desires for their own
life and isn't offended because their perception of their own situation
is not affected by other people.. the weaker personality feels as if
they were personally slighted because they may have their own issues
about being perceived as a "baby-mother"

So... why do weaker personalities always seem to be offended by others
with strong personalities?? What kind of personality do you think you
have? Do you find yourself wanting to "put people in their place" when
they talk about doing something that you may feel is out of your
reach/budget or giving an opinion about something? Do you care very
little for what other people do with their own lives as long as they
don't desire to leech your bank accounts or waste your time? Are you
percieved as "looking down on people" because your opinions are not
geared towards becoming a crowd favorite? Do you feel people look down
on you because they express realities different from your own?
